This unique documentary examines how the privatized market economy in
southeastern China has paradoxically led to the emergence of a new
public spirit as prosperous peasants and merchants donate money to
nongovernmental organizations (called NGOs). The NGOs examined here
include a lineage association, a deity temple, a private school, an old
people's association, and a Catholic church. There are extensive
interviews with a wide range of Chinese, as well as contemporary scenes
of daily life, a rural market, and a factory. Produced by Mayfair Yang.
